The most important God's aim by revelation of the Holy Quran is leading the human to the right path, and monotheism is the most fundamental doctrine in this path which is the foundation of all the rest of educations in the Quran and its end is leading humankind to happiness. The foundation of monotheistic knowledge in realization of this aim is divinely monotheism which is based on Robubi monotheism. In order to provide this doctrine for the people of any era correctly, the education method of God's Robubi monotheism to His servants in first surahs of the Quran to which a more considerable emphasis has been given, needs to be observed. For this, the present paper is an attempt to investigate the features of God's Robubi monotheism as well as their diction and the manner of guiding human towards this doctrine so that a pattern could be derived out of it.

One of the outstanding works about allegorical and difficult Quranic verses is 'Mutashabih ul-Quran wa Al-mukhtalif Fih' by Mohammad Ibn Ali Ibn Shahr Ashub Mazandarani. In this book, he has analyzed the Quranic allegorical verses in distinct topics and the domain of his discussions revolve around various topics such as belief principles, religious commandments, and Quranic sciences. He sees allegorical verses from three viewpoints including: having dispute in religious affairs, contradictory verses, and those verses from which two or several meanings could be received and they need to be understood on the more correct meaning. Relying on the mentioned book, the paper attempts to investigate Ibn Shahr Ashub's commentary of the allegorical and difficult verses. According to the findings of the study, one could find out that he has corrected the available suspicions and deviations related to this topic and has eliminated the ambiguities of these verses by using various methods and scholarly orientation.

The holy Quran has a two-way remark about the request of reward of the prophet's mission. Narrated from the prophets and the last of the prophets (p.b.u.h), some of the verses have negated the demanding of the mission wages on the prophet's part and have taken it into account as a specific thing to the lofty God while in some verses such as 53 Furqan, 43 Saba', and 23 Shura, wage and reward is requested from people for prophetic mission and prophesy. Providing the Quran commentator's opinions about this issue and explaining these two groups of verses, this paper aims at removing the apparent conflict between them and by conceptualizing the words mavaddah and Qurba and also analyzing the type of exception in the verse "I ask of you no fee therefor, save loving kindness among kinsfolk" and arguing against the view claiming the verse being abrogated, attempts to analyze this issue. Finally, the researchers believe that the reward of the last of the prophet's mission is nothing but treating his innocent and sacred ahl ul-Bayt amicably.

Innate reason is one of the theological reasons on which the Holy Quran has emphasized. Innate character has various tendencies like tendency to absolute perfection. The verses denoting God-seeking nature of human being could be classified into four: those denoting innate character clearly, those introducing the Prophets as reminders, those saying that a group of polytheists, in spite of their innate belief in God, have been involved with robubi polytheist, and those related to the retelling the world of dharr world. Unlike the common method of the Quranic researches on analyzing the verses about innate character–who analyze and interpret just the first and the fourth groups– all mentioned groups of the verses should be taken into account.

Scientific miracle is one of the aspects of miracle in the Holy Quran. The Holy Quran includes verses referring to scientific fact, those proved by development of human knowledge and scientific equipments after passing 14 centuries from the revelation of the Quran. The verse 4 of Munafiqun verse: "as though they were blocks of wood in striped cloaks" is among those verses which, based on a speculation, have been confirmed by undeniable scientific discoveries. Therefore, there is a possibility for this verse to refer to "capability and role of the trees in absorption, control and reduction of acoustic pollution", the fact nowadays proved as a scientific fact.

Allegory is a method used in the Quran to lead human to the right way. Therefore, wherever Divine hikmah has demanded, with mentioning an allegory the path for understanding the problem has been facilitated and the proof has been completed to the addressees. The holy Quran has used the allegory of rain water for the mundane world and has repeated it in the verses like 24 of Yunus, 45 of Kahf and 20 of Hadid. Analysis of these three allegories is indicative of elucidating the different dimensions and stages of life in the form of a simple allegory. This paper aims at analyzing Divine hikmah for repetition, relationship and proportion of these verses.
